Strategy
Cargotec's vision is to become the global leader in sustainable cargo flow. We influence the flow of the world’s supply chains, making them more efficient while providing solutions for lowered CO2 emissions.
On 27 April 2023, Cargotec's Board of Directors decided to investigate and initiate a process to potentially separate its core businesses Kalmar and Hiab into two standalone companies. On 30 May 2024, Cargotec's Annual General Meeting resolved on the partial demerger of Cargotec Corporation in accordance with the demerger plan. On 30 June 2024, the completion of the partial demerger (the “Demerger”) of Cargotec Corporation (“Cargotec”) has been registered with the Finnish Trade Register. Read more.

Promoting services and extending the life cycle of products are also key elements of the circular economy.

This drives emission reductions and supports the development of sustainable innovations and capabilities.
Innovations and new business models

Life cycle solutions
We aim to expand our service offering from traditional maintenance and spare parts sales to providing intelligent solutions throughout the equipment life cycle. Enhancing our digital offerings to proactively address customer challenges remains a big opportunity. Through our innovative offering, we are able to serve our customers better and help them reach their circularity targets.
